It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
– Marianne Williamson (Author)
Every other Tuesday, womenatliberty.com provides Leadership Tuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage and strengthen women leaders. Today's quote encourages us to not be afraid to use our gifts to bring light to environments and sutuations where we are. We have been given talents, skills, and abilities by the Creator to positively impact our environoments and to unite with others for the greater good. Don't hide your light. Shine brightly. By doing so, you encourage others to do the same.
Check out last week's blog on how an organization's culture is a reflection of its leadership and what leaders must understand to change it. Read What Are Your Employees Telling You About The Organization? For more information on Leadership Tuesdays and WOMEN AT LIBERTY, click here.
